A palace indeed! Views don't get any better than the 180-degree oceanfront vistas you'll enjoy from this Outer Banks vacation home. Catch the sunrise or stroll the beach by moonlight with the Atlantic Ocean steps away. Take the family to the vast, world-class beach with its gentle slopes into the water for swimming and beautiful vistas for days spent fishing and kiting. You can also wade into the large private pool on a whim or read a book poolside.

For the work-from-beach crowd, Moon Palace offers plenty of laptop space and high-speed wifi internet that covers the entire home. As the day winds down, beachcombers and those at home can join to catch the sunset with cocktails on the expansive deck overlooking the private pool.


Cook your fisherman's catch in the spacious open kitchen with stunning granite countertops and the culinary tools you need to whip up the perfect meal. Finish your evening in paradise with stargazing and a trip to the hot tub ready for you anytime at the just-right temperature.

As your evening winds down, retreat to the Captain's Tower main suite with a private oceanfront balcony where you can watch the waves crash or unwind away from the world with the luxurious Jacuzzi offering private sunsets over the Pamlico Sound. The spectacular sunrise is postcard-perfect and will energize you to start another day in paradise.

The whole family will enjoy their stay in one of six beautiful bedrooms with comfortable mattresses and individual TV sets. Moon Palace features two main bedrooms and a range of restful sleeping options, including children's rooms. Find a nook to read ghost stories of local legends like the pirate Blackbeard after you visit the partial remains of a 19th-century shipwreck along the beach visible from the Captain's Tower. Catch the game or keep the children entertained with cable TV (Netflix and Amazon-enabled) and a pool table in the downstairs game room with a kitchenette. Outside on the ground level is an outdoor shower for after your swim.

A newly installed elevator provides access from the carport to each level of the house, including access to the kitchen for groceries and the top-level primary bedroom.

Spectacular views, local delights, and creature comforts - how could you want to stay anywhere else? Make Moon Palace your getaway on your visit to Hatteras Island!

Outdated and dirty

Everything was either dirty or broken. Nothing about our stay was pleasant or comfortable. Dirty sheets and towels, bugs everywhere and no working WiFi with no response from customer service. I would look elsewhere if you’re looking for a comfortable trip to the beach. This house definitely has been neglected for a long time.

Scenic getaway

The property was great for a relatively large group (12 adults). Five bedrooms for adults and two tailored to kids. Well stocked kitchen, hot tub, nice deck, unheated pool. Beach access. Master bedroom had incredible views of the ocean. Moon rise, sun rise and off shore storms were great to see.

Great first trip to OBX

Moon Palace was a delight. While the cleaning left something to be desired, the home itself had everything we needed for our first time visiting the Outer Banks. We were not familiar with the area but grew to love the quiet nature of Salvo as we ventured out to more touristy towns. It was a nice little oasis to come back to. This home does have a LOT of stairs so beware if you are traveling with anyone who does not do well taking multiples trips up and down. The photos made the beach walk look very far away, but we were pleasantly surprised it’s really not that far at all. Wide beach, pretty setting, and nice ocean views from the living area when it was too windy to be outside.

Older beach property that is good

What we loved most about the house: - Location, we went off season and the beach was not crowded at all. We joked that the walk to the beach was a little longer than it looks. - Kitchen was well stocked with every type of tool or equipment that you might need. - Elevator was a nice plus that helped with unloading and loading the vehicles at arrival and departure. - Previous recent comments mentioned cleaning issues that we didn't see or encounter. A couple of the bathrooms just appears that they might need some new grout but those were clean. Opportunity for house: - Small TV in the living space, which made Saturday college football watching a challenge. The TV was also a bit of challenge to get to work properly initially. - The beach house is good, but it needs a little refresh in general. Let me be clear that everything is functional but it's just showing signs of wear and tear. Overall, our stay was good from booking to check out. The house met our basic expectations for our first stay at OBX.

Moon Palace - The BEST

We loved our stay at Moon Palace! We maxed out the house in occupancy and still had room. We kept losing kids in the house LOL! The views from the perch were amazing and nothing beats being on the beach with nightly bonfires. The house is a little dated - but we didn't care. It was clean and stocked. Our property manager was FANTASTIC. The listing says 2 cars for parking -- that's incorrect. Don't let that stop you from booking. We had a camper van and 3 large vehicles with driveway to spare. Highly recommend for price and location.

Nice House But

The house is as advertised. Long hot walk to the ocean and can’t see the water from the house. House needs a few updates but it’s nice. It was clean but thats only because the cleaners had to come back after the “inspection”. Had a few issues and Mgt company was slow to do anything. Had bug issue they never solved.

Pros and Cons

Pros about this house- elevator is clutch bc this is a 4 story house with a ton of stairs. The view is beautiful and neighborhood is quiet. Negatives about this house- almost every stick of furniture/appliance needs to be updated/replaced. The carpet is sandy and smelly and the cleaners apparently do not clean it between visits because it was a mess when we got there. Tubs are mildewy and even when asked to come back and clean they were still gross (bought my own chlorox clean up and killed the mildew myself!!) Not going to beat a dead horse here, the company has been told about all the other stuff. Not something the owners can help but if you have a hard time with walking/climbing, the dunes in front of the house to the beach are very steep and not an easy stroll for someone with bad knees or hips. Its beautful once you get there but there are no stairs or boardwalk. We will be back to this beautiful area but not to this house.

Moon Palace

We had to leave earlier than scheduled because of the Storm, nice house very spacious, had a few steps on back deck were completely off. Had to call to get them fixed, they said that they only had one maintenance guy for the whole area. He did show up, did an excellent job. The cabinets and walls were dirty, hadn’t had a good cleaning for awhile. Also blood on the inside railing (several places), we cleaned it up. (Wasn’t very happy about cleaning up blood). We did get a refund of $112.00 because we had to leave early. Thank you

Perfect Outer Banks Location

House was spacious with fabulous views, private beach and wonderful decking for great outdoor experience. Pool and hot tub were wonderful. Cleanliness was not up to standard; don't believe the house was cleaned at all prior to our arrival. That certainly put a damper on our stay. Couches also needed replacement/fabric cleaning. Location couldn't be better.

Love Salvo

Great location, semi-private beach access/area with not many other people around, we loved having a fire on the beach! The pool was very nice and the kitchen was well stocked! This house was built in 1994 and can use some upgrades/repairs... Vacasa team was prompt to respond to several maintenance issues we had. The house was not cleaned very well prior to our arrival. The owners need to invest in some larger TVs, they had 25" TVs in the rooms. Also, if possible the WiFi needs to be faster and more reliable, we had a lot of issues with it.

Bad weather, nice house

We unfortunately came the week of the nor’easter that took 3 houses out to sea just north of us. The house was large and kitchen well appointed for some great meals. TVs are small - we normally would not use them, but the weather made for movie watching. Will be back next year to try again!
